Better still, she should do it in theaters showing Sarah Palins bio-puke, _The Undefeated._ Minimize the damage. ---

> [@GusNSpot](#): > > Buy a flag, burn it. > Steal a flag and burn it, not so much. Ahhh… so burning a bought-and-paid-for flag is cool; it’s STEALING a $10 piece of cloth and burning it that you would shoot a person for (if you knew you’d get away with it). Well OK then. That’s different. I’m sure everyone here would do the same thing. Show’s over folks, get off this guy’s back. ---

Maybe I was assuming too much, but it seemed to me that **Indygrrl** ’s comment about “complete free speech” was in response to the idea that expression could be regulated on intended/inferred _message-content_ grounds (“I don’t believe desecrating the US of A flag should be covered by free speech”) rather than factors like venue/context (“crowded theater”), libel, copyright, and so forth. And in that sense, I agree. Freedom of speech must include freedom for viewpoints we disagree with and find offensive, or there is no freedom. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > Thanks for pointing that out. No matter how good a thread is, it could always be better with a little more nitpicking and pedantry. Kudos. It’s not pedantic to point out that this statement – _Either we have complete free speech, or we don’t have free speech at all_ – is factually incorrect. It’s not even close to being right. We have free speech, but it is by no means complete. ---

When flag burning is made a crime, only criminals will burn flags. ---
